We had always planned to go back there and to the UK as last year, due to the global nature of the tour and the period it took, we just didn\u2019t have time to cover them properly and we do still like to get to fans in as many places as possible!<\/p>\n<p>So this year we\u2019re able to reach many more cities in America, including a return to places Maiden haven\u2019t played for many, many years like Lincoln Nebraska, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City and Oakland California. We also welcome playing in Brooklyn for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>We will, of course, be bringing the full production with us including all the Eddies and the Maya-themed stage sets. There\u2019s been a great reaction from everyone to this tour\u2019s theme, people really seem to love it. We\u2019re still deciding on the final set-list and we\u2019ll work that out once we get into rehearsals. Most of our North American fans haven\u2019t seen the show yet so as we want to give them the same Book Of Souls live experience that we took around the world, it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll change much. And of course we know our fans appreciate us playing a lot of the older songs too, so we will continue to do that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the 2017 shows Maiden will once again, in conjunction with the Promoters, be implementing a partial paperless ticketing system in as many venues as possible, which they have been successfully doing since 2010 and has worked well in lessening the ticketing scalping and drain of the prime tickets into the Secondary Ticketing sites.<\/p>\n<p>06\/03\/2017 &#8211; Bristow, VA @ Jiffy Lube<br \/>\n06\/04\/2017 &#8211; Philadelphia, PA @ Wells Fargo Center<br \/>\n06\/07\/2017 &#8211; Newark, NJ @ Prudential Center<br \/>\n06\/09\/2017 &#8211; Charlotte, NC @ Pnc Music Pavilion<br \/>\n06\/11\/2017 &#8211; Tampa, FL @ Amalie Arena<br \/>\n06\/13\/2017 &#8211; Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena<br \/>\n06\/15\/2017 &#8211; Chicago, IL @ Hollywood Casino Amphitheater<br \/>\n06\/16\/2017 &#8211; Minneapolis, MN @ Xcel Energy Center<br \/>\n06\/19\/2017 &#8211; Oklahoma City, OK @ Chesapeake Arena<br \/>\n06\/21\/2017 &#8211; Houston, TX @ Toyota Center<br \/>\n06\/23\/2017 &#8211; Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Center<br \/>\n06\/24\/2017 &#8211; San Antonio, TX @ ATT&amp;T Center<br \/>\n06\/27\/2017 &#8211; Albuquerque, NM @ Isleta Amphitheater<br \/>\n06\/28\/2017 &#8211; Phoenix, AZ @ Talking Stick Resort Arena<br \/>\n07\/01\/2017 &#8211; San Bernardino, CA @ San Manuel Amphitheater<br \/>\n07\/03\/2017 &#8211; Las Vegas, NV @ T-Mobile Center<br \/>\n07\/05\/2017 &#8211; Oakland, CA @ Oracle Arena<br \/>\n07\/07\/2017 &#8211; Salt Lake City, UT @ Usana Amphitheater<br \/>\n07\/09\/2017 &#8211; Lincoln, NE @ Pinnacle Bank Arena<br \/>\n07\/11\/2017 &#8211; Kansas City, MO @ Sprint Center<br \/>\n07\/12\/2017 &#8211; St Louis, MO @ Hollywood Casino Amphitheater<br \/>\n07\/15\/2017 &#8211; Toronto, ON @ Budweiser Stage<br \/>\n07\/16\/2017 &#8211; Quebec City, QC @ Videotron Centre<br \/>\n07\/19\/2017 &#8211; Mansfield, MA @ Xfinity Center<br \/>\n07\/21\/2017 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY @ Barclays Arena<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you like what you\u2019ve read, <a href=\"http:\/\/paypal.me\/MetalAssault\" target=\"_blank\">make a donation<\/a> of any amount and help keep Metal Assault running full time!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iron Maiden are returning to North America on &#8216;The Book Of Souls&#8217; world tour with 25 shows in the US and Canada in the summer of 2017, with Ghost as support act.
